Nadia Khan will make her acting comeback after 17 years!
The once famed morning show queen is making her TV serial comeback after 17 years with a Fahad Mustafa production opposite Sami Khan. Here's what she told us when we got together:
HIP: This is a time when most are moving towards films. You are signing dramas. Why so?
Nadia Khan: That's good, right? I won't have any competition.
HIP: Tell us about the serial. Who's the director and what's the cast?
NK: Badar Mehmood is the director, he approached me. I asked for the script and after going through it, I really liked it. The theme of the drama serial is the dark side of social media. Saba Apa and Sami Khan are in the cast as well.
It talks about how families are affected by this side of social media, how the culprits are affected by it as well. The serial talks about a minor mistake made by one person and then how long it keeps on haunting the family. We have been shooting for ten days. The idea is to take as much time as it is required to make it perfect.
HP: You have started blogging as well. Tell us about that.
NK: What I used to do through my morning show, educating people, I wanted to continue that. That is the reason I started blogging and vlogging. I want to create awareness for housewives. My blog is like a visual magazine.
I encourage women through my vlogs to take up their talents and use it wisely. It's quite popular all over the world. Tech bloggers, beauty bloggers have a huge following. People listen to them. We should do something here in Pakistan as well.
HIP: Making a comeback after 17 years, how do you think the industry has changed?
NK: First of all, you look absolutely beautiful on camera in drama serials today. You don't even need makeup. I was amazed. The lighting on morning shows is horrible. jitna marzi bright kar lein, you look horrible. Also, directors these days are very attentive and responsible. Back then, directors used to leave everything on the DOPs and leave to have a smoke.
Sounding like a different project from ones we were used to watching, Nadia's comeback will be worth the wait.
